In these eighteen stories, meet Anvay, Suraj, Saakit, Virat, Divya, and others-characters flawed, vulnerable, real. From the coasts of Karwar to a foggy Himalayan village; from surreal midnight wanderings to dystopian cityscapes; from cramped homes to wide-open roads-each tale captures a moment when an ordinary life cracks open to reveal something raw.
A child facing guilt.
A cat plotting its escape.
A man trapped within his own silence.
A traveller colliding with cult and charisma.
A dreamer meeting his idol on the edge of loss.
What happens when someone-anyone-finds themselves cornered by circumstance, memory, or their own shadow? In flashes of humour, hurt, absurdity, and wonder, these stories reveal what's underneath.
A Fly on the Wall: Human Tales Through an Urban Lens is a mosaic of inner worlds-seen through the eyes of an imaginary fly: curious, silent, always watching, asking the question that binds them all:
Who are we when no one is watching?
A collection for readers who love intimate short stories about ordinary people at unusual crossroads.
